How Thicke Knew 'Blurred Lines' Would Be Huge

Robin Thicke came seemingly out of nowhere to dominate 2013 with his massive hit Blurred Lines, and in this exclusive Music Choice clip, the 36-year-old singer talks about how he knew the catchy tune would become a game-changer.

"We made the record in an hour-and-a-half, and then people started coming in to the studio from the other studios," Thicke recalls. " ... All of a sudden we had 20, 30 people just dancing to Blurred Lines in the studio. We had that feeling at that time that it was an eight to eighty song for all ages, all colors, all groups, and it's nice that it's become that."

"My grandpa called me when he first heard the song, and he called it before it became a hit, before radio even started playing it, he said, 'You got a hit on your hands there, sonny boy!'" he laughs. "And that's when I knew --my 80-year-old grandpa is telling me I have a hit? Wait a second."

Music Choice's "MC 100" countdown -- Music Choice's curated list of 100 chart-topping songs representing the year's absolute best -- will air beginning December 10th every Tuesday and Sunday from 6 p.m. – 12 a.m. ET/PT on Music Choice's Hit List Music Channel, and the top 25 music videos will be available to view free on demand starting Dec. 9.
